The grandfather of Britain's newly appointed MI6 intelligence chief, Blaze Metreveli, was a [[Nazi]] collaborator known as "The Butcher," according to a ''[[Daily Mail]]'' investigation.
Konstantin Metreveli (Dobrovolsky) was born in the [[Ukraine]] and received a British passport in the 1960s when thousands of [[Nazi]] [[war criminals]] were allowed to escape [[justice]] and were resettled in Britain, [[Canada]], and the [[United States]]. Citing archives from Freiburg, [[Germany]], the paper confirms that Konstantin Dobrovolsky, Senior — father of Konstantin and grandfather of Blaze — deserted the [[Red Army]] to join [[Nazi]] forces during [[World War II]].

According to the archives, Dobrovolsky served in a [[Waffen-SS]] [[tank]] unit. The publication notes the existence of handwritten letters he sent to German commanders — signed with the Nazi salute. In these letters, he boasted of personally taking part in the "extermination of [[Jews]]" and claimed to have killed hundreds of partisan fighters.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14851451/grandfather-new-head-MI6-Nazi-spy-chief.html</ref>
